I finished it.
Ok. It needs some revision and fine tuning, but it's done.
I have never written a book proposal before and, in that brutal brand of honesty that I reserve for my own work, it ain't got a snowball's chance in hell of making it past the first read.
But I finished it. A complete story. Beginning, middle, end. It needs a little work on the theme through line and I need to tweak a few scenes -- but that should be done by tonight.
I don't have the feeling of completion I was looking forward to having... But that may change once I really do finish it.
In all honesty, I alternate between thinking that it's pretty good and believing it's total crap.
I hate that. Especially since the more cynical view seems to be the one I think more often.
It will need to be betaed a couple of times--
JennJenn? Can I rely on you to be your usual wonderful beta self? Mean, ornery and hard on problematic commas and messed up tenses?
